Overview
Visa cancellation process in Dubai
Visa cancellation in Dubai formally ends a residence visa through GDRFA — required when employees leave, partners exit companies, dependants depart, or companies close. Delayed cancellation creates daily overstay fines and employer immigration liability.
Employee cancellations require MOHRE contract termination and labour card cancellation before or alongside GDRFA immigration cancellation. Partner and investor cancellations link to share transfer and licence amendment workflows.
KPM Global Services manages end-to-end visa cancellation — MOHRE clearance, GDRFA application, Emirates ID surrender, and establishment quota release for Dubai mainland and free zone sponsors.
